WAYNESBORO – Buttonwood Nature Center invites area families on a free, guided winter hike along the Appalachian Trail on Sunday, Feb. 23, from 1 to 3 p.m. as part of their Naturalist Discovery Series of programs.
The hike is the second in a series of four Appalachian Trail hikes planned for the last Sunday of each month through April. The February hike is geared for families with children age 10 and older. Later hikes will welcome younger kids.
Led by a Buttonwood naturalist, hikers will explore some of the wonders to be found in the woods and along the byways.
“We are fortunate to live in an area that the legendary Appalachian Trail crosses through in several nearby locations,” said Pam Rowland, Buttonwood education site coordinator and program organizer.
The event is free but pre-registration is required. Readers may register online at Buttonwood’s website: www.buttonwoodnaturecenter.org. The meeting place for the hike will be sent after registration.

This program is underwritten in part by Naturalist Discovery Series sponsors Pam and Bruce Rowland and by Marge Kiersz, Lucinda D. Potter CPA and SEK CPAs & Advisors, with additional support from the Buttonwood Today’s Horizon Fund contributors: The Nora Roberts Foundation; APX Enclosures; Don Gibe and Nancy Erlanson; and the family of the late Carolyn Terry Eddy, with daughters Connie Fleagle and Kim Larkin.
